    Vic emergency map has a cool new feature - the little red triangle with the warning “evacuate immediately” now has the red triangle and a little running man blinking on and off. Really stands out. Check it out at the Otways fires.

    Aaaand it looks like most of the Otways are going up in smoke rn.

      You should have a look at bushfire.io it includes the information from the Vic Emergency app, and also has overlays with the wind speed/direction, satellite detected hot spots which show where the fire is actively burning, and where the fire fighting aircraft are. It’s really interesting and I presume it takes a bit of pressure off the Vic Emergency app and helps stop it getting overloaded.
